Early in December, personnel of Russia’s International Anti-Mining Center demonstrated new equipment commissioned by sapper units. In particular, the center’s experts showed how to deactivate a mine using a drone, Dmitry Klochko, director of LocMas who had attended the event told Mil.Today. “To neutralize mines, we use small and very

First-person-view (FPV) racing has changed the face of radio control. World-class race events and network TV coverage have combined to pull in huge numbers of racers with no prior background in traditional aeromodeling. While there are some nice ready-to-fly quadcopters on the market, FPV racing is ideal for those who

In this tutorial I will show you how to setup Betaflight firmware on a flight controller by going through each tab in the configurator. Betaflight is an excellent open source flight controller software, designed specially for mini quad (racing drones). Check out our FC

The unfriendly weather condition in the cold winter isn’t really ideal for flying quadcopter. Here are a few tips and products that can help you survive those freezing FPV sessions in the winter. Freezing LiPo Battery = Bad Performance LiPo batteries don’t

If you watch great films, most outdoor scenes are shot at the “golden hour,” which is the hour after sunrise or the hour before sunset. The light is low, and because the sun is going through so much more of the atmosphere, it seems larger and the light is softer.

For the current crop of 3100+ UK CAA Permission for Commercial Operation (PfCO) holders the Small Unmanned Aircraft (SUA) industry has quickly become competitive in nature. To distinguish themselves in this market – in essence to ‘be a blue cow in a field of black and white cows(!)’- the next

BMT has developed a mobile application to help responders safely assess hazardous situations. The system processes data captured by drones into real-time 2D and 3D maps of the scene, enabling responders to make fast, informed decisions about how to proceed. The research project was designed to help find a way

Leaders of an unmanned aircraft camp tailored toward young girls hope the lessons learned there will help the aspiring pilots with leadership skills, teamwork and more. Sixty girls ages 8 to 12 got the chance this week at UND’s Robin Hall to learn how to fly unmanned aircraft during the
